The dedicated staff strives each month to produce a magazine of exceptional
quality-one that creates community pride among readers and highlights
services offered by local businesses.

Twenty years ago, the magazine was created by owners Doug and Carol Naarup in a
one-room office and was only 28 pages. Today, with an average of 160 pages, the
magazine is produced in a fantastic, contemporary space within a three-story building
on the historic downtown plaza in Salisbury, Md.

The Metropolitan is still locally owned and operated by the Naarups and its staff is always focused on exceptional client service. This philosophy — getting to know each business and each owner — is still the key ingredient to The Metropolitan Magazine's continued success.
